We've all lived in the past few months one of the largest terrorist waves by the US in recent history, in Iran. They've attempted, and in many cases succeeded in murdering government and military leaders, including supposed supreme dictator and leader Khomeinei. Yet, what changed?

When confronted by libs taking a "great man" perspective of history, we can bring up this recent example of historical materialism: turns out we were right again! Iran was and is not a personified dictatorship where the Ayatollah holds unlimited unilateral power at his whim, but instead it has a government structure representing the class interests of the country as it happens everywhere else.

Nothing will happen if Putin gets killed. Nothing will happen if Trump gets deposed. Nothing will change if Maduro is kidnapped: one person never holds the power of the state, and acts merely as a representative of the class interests.

Americans see everything through the lens of Hollywood slop. It's also why both Dems and Republicans can discuss foreign policy decisions like getting out of the jcpoa for no reason then demanding Iran submit to more restrictions to get the US back into the jcpoa and nobody will acknowledge that it's very stupid and makes no sense. Same mindset behind Dems calling Trump weak in the 2020 election with his response to Iran hitting US bases in retaliation for the illegal, immoral, and staggeringly short-sighted murder of Soleimani .
